Pierre Boudinet is a French caver and cave diver born in 1969. He has a deep scientific background including a doctorate and the French “Agrégation” of physics.
He explored, very often alone, several sumps including the long “Source de l'Écoutôt” (more than one mile to fin without propeller). He explored also sumps that can be reached only after engaged vertical caving, including the sumps of the “Gouffre du Paradis.” He distanced himself from mass practice.
When he is not underground, his occupation is to teach physics in a prep class. He makes also pure scientific research, often using computer modeling.
